, .he took at North Bend on February 8.
.He said he borrowed a Run 'with which
to defend himself, and claimed that he
,shot only after Wilson had said , he
would "cut his heart out. He said
Wilson advanced toward him and would
(not heed warnings to stop.
. Stephens was cool and deliberate on
the witness 'stand, more so than is usual
with a witness at even a civil case.
.' Stephens declared that the threats of
AVilson became more violent several days
': 'before the. shooting, and it was then
(that ,he secured 'the big Colt revolver
'and. began carrying it. - -
' Jn telling of the details of the shoot
.Ing, .. Stephens said that -Wilson came
-into the kitchen of the rooming" house
and- advanced toward him. Stephens

; at Wilson. ' Tho bullet struck Wilson,
but ha did not fall. Wilson took his
hand out of his pocket and it showed

'Witness said Wilson closed his r knife
and. turning, staggered out of the. room.
He made his way down - the hall and
'went out the front door. -.At the bottom
'of the steps, he fell. ' r
Testimony showed that Wilson had
been a bootlegger. There was also evi
dence to- show that Wilson bad said
'that his real, name was Allen, and he
claimed to be a brother or a cousin of
'the Aliens who shot up a courthouse in
